Noni, you will be fine with just the two of you. I know I find it a bit easier to deal with arsenic hour if I'm on my own with bubs as I don't have to do anything for anyone else kwim? Don't worry about the cot thing - if you need to take her to bed with you so you get some sleep then do it - you will be a better Mummy for it in the morning if you aren't overtired.

Marydean, I used to fancy myself as a bit of a punter when I was at school and studied the form guide religiously. I used to do quite well too, but then once I moved out of home and had to start paying bills it was a different story LOL. The local publican used to let me put on my Stepdads weekend bets and I would put mine on too and he was none the wiser - even used to let me have a shandy. Mind you that was before all the new liquor laws came in.

And don't worry about the name either - I'm used to it LOL.
